    Rode mine daily since got it no problems at all so gutted gotta go back. …Rode mine daily since got it no problems at all so gutted gotta go back. The nearest spec is double the price


    No obligation to return. Highly probable there will be be a practical workaround for all but the least technically competent, but I am not familiar with the model nor the specific issue so cannot immediately offer any possible options.

    States there's potential for there to be moisture in the scooter therefore dangerous when u then plug electricity into it, I emailed them where it says contact us if you can't return to store and they've just emailed me back stating they've sent me a full refund nothing about coming to collect it so its not actually the scooter as such it's charging it safely (edited)

    I have not heard anything as yet I sent another message this afternoon as I’m about 130 miles to the nearest store.

    This is what I got from them when I asked for further information:
    'We have seen an isolated incident which we’ve linked to a specific series of events which occurred with a product. It caused a potential thermal issue when the product was charged. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, we are withdrawing the machines.'

    I wonder what the specific series of events were? Odd that they have recalled all sales based on one incident

    I am still waiting for the full Tesla recall.

    That one is hitting a brick wall. (edited)
